Casper has made a return to comic-book stores and stands, thanks to American Mythology Publications, a publisher that's bringing back a number of licensed favorites to the funny books. This Halloween-worthy title has three variant covers. Of course, in honor of Halloween, I have the so-called Spooky cover, drawn by Mike Wolfer and Ceci de la Cruz, shown below. (Hot Stuff makes a guest appearance, but Spooky [the tuff little ghost] is nowhere in sight.) As a bonus, my dear friend Barbara Layman of Universal/DreamWorks Publishing, as well as Corinne Combs and Steve Behling, is acknowledged on the credits page, as is Harvey Comics expert Mark Arnold, This Issue #1 (let's hope there are many issues to come!) includes both new and classic material. Also, Casper is part of Halloween ComicFest 2017. And (super)naturally the Friendly Ghost is a friendly part of the Countdown to Halloween 2017 here at Tulgey Wood.
I did not know this! I used to love Casper, Wendy, Hot Stuff and Richie Rich comics as a kid. Maybe I should pick this up and read it to my granddaughters. Gotta get them on the comic book habit! ;)
